Connecticut Speaks.

New England is moving strong toward
Washington, 1t would seem. On Thursday
last Mr.. Mix, of Wallingford, introduced
into the Connecticut legislature a bill to
send the I'd regiment Of state troops to the
National Dill in body, the expenses to
lie paid out of the treasury of the state.
The Second Connecticut is a famous
corps, In record, and representative one
in membership. Its entire ten companies
have received complete new uniforms since
Jan. /; and Mr.. Mix, who went from com.
msnd OF one of its companies to the legis
lature, vouches for its discipline and ap-
pearance being credit TO its state.
This move Of the Nutmeg State comes
apropos to the war cloud on her near
border; and it points the wisdom of that
adage which teaches what It is wise to do
ain time Of peace"
Besides, 1t verifles two prophecies of the
REruBLICAN. 1t shows that the rep! esen
tative soldiers will be here, for Minnesota,
Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa have
already decided to send full regiments,
which will pass before the assembled :gov-
ernors in the grand review, while more
than one from New York and Pennsylvania
are now considering the question.
And this action also proves our statement
made when the drill was young-that the
representative soldiers of the national guard
are the representative men Of the nation

Tho Hlalr Eli.

After two days Of llibusterlng the Blair
educational bill was yesterday referred In
the House Of Representatives to the com
mittee on rules by a vote Of 1863 to 20.
This committee has the right to report at
any time, and is composed OF eve mem
bers-Messrs. Carlisle, Randall, aud Nor
rison, Democrats, and Reed and Hiscock,
Republicans.
These gentlemen, It is fair to suppose,
will treat the measure fairly, and report it
back TO the House for action in some form.
Presumably, they will not undertake to
strangle IL.
The Republicans of the House are unani-
nous in favor of the measure the Demo
Gratis are divided. The people are watch
ing both, for it has taken strong hold upon
the masses.
1t is safe to predict that it will be Diff
cult for any enemy of this measure to be
re elected to Congress, much less President
Of the republic
